Can't see how he'd up at Villa. Well stocked for decent centre halves and shouldn't be spending whatever money they have on any more.

he's not good enough to start for either club
half of me thinks the Liverpool connection is baloney, the other thinks "well, actually..."
At Liverpool Carragher is on the downhill slope, the Greek is purely cover, while Agger seems surplus to requirements, leaving Skrtel as the main man. Big hopes for Daniel Ayala and he will be pushing for a first team spot next season, not to mention the untested Danny Wilson (signed from Rangers). So there is a possibility for the future. But the here and now would find him behind Carragher, Skrtel, Krygiakos, Wilson and Agger. Makes no sense.
Villa I don't know enough about, but he'll surely be behind Dunne!
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Reading through the Kop/AV forums. Liverpool fans are hoping it's a joke. Villa fans are just wondering why they would need another CB.
I dont understand why people think Sledge isnt good enough. By and large he has been very good for us, ok the one error here and there, but overall he has been very good. And I dont think it can all be attributed to the fact that he has Dunne beside him. Its certainly not a case of Babb and McGrath.
I think potentially he's good enough to play for one of the fairly decent (If not top 4) Premeriship club's in England as he's never looked out of his depth playing against some of the supposedly top strikers in Europe for Ireland (Anelka, Henry, Berbatov etc). However, he seems in recent seasons to have gone off the boil at club level for whatever reason and I'd be surprised if a top Premiership team would take a chance on him on current form.
On a sidenote I've been surprised how well Treacy has done during his time at Preston as he didn't look too hot at either Blackburn or Sheffield United. Hopefully he can kick on from here and get a move to the Premiership in the near future as I don't see Preston getting promoted anytime soon.

Preston are looking to sell. All these potential links with clubs are designed to drum up interest but ultimately lack foundation. I'm sure he'll leave Preston sooner rather than later but any potential move will likely be to another Championship club.
His value was probably highest prior to the 'Boro move. His "stock" has certainly fallen/ (crashed) since then. With new players emerging on the international scene, I wouldn't be surprised if he loses his starting position in our side within the near future. I can't imagine any top Premiership club would make a move for him.
Think Sledge has a Prem future, particularly if he keeps doing it with Ireland. But far more likely it'll be with a newly promoted Championship side or lower Prem team like (lazy punt) Wolves.

He has been decent enough for us, his positioning has been good enough but his discipline has to be a concern. That flying reckless challenge had more than a touch of a mad Bobo Balde about it, could have got himself sent off and we would have had little to complain about.
ive heard stories of a Sledge to Premiership club so many times that i fully expect this not to happen.
Certainly no need for a seperate thread on the matter either.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
I'd trust that article about as much as I would trust the brakes on a Toyota Lexus
Wanna bet?
This is more than just paper talk, also think you do St Ledger a dis-service as he has done well since he came into the Ireland team, with Trapp on record as saying St Ledger is a seniior member of the Irish team now.
If/when St Ledger goes to Villa he will partner Dunne, as Houlier was impressed by St Ledgers performances against France in the WC Play offs.
I can see Premiership clubs moving for him but not those ones. If he's going to make the jump to a top-half Prem team (I think he has the ability), it will be via a move to a promoted club, either one of this year's in January or whoever goes up in the summer, or else one of the other clubs that dwell around the relegation zone. Possibly Wolves because you know how Mick loves his Irishmen.
Not a great night for the Saint last night. Absolutely gifted Barnsley a goal in the last minute and every time he touched the ball after the mistake he was booed by fans. Only good thing to come out of it is he will surely move on come January
After such a howler of a mistake, where's he going to move to?
I think its fair to say that if Sledge gets a move upwards, it will be as a result of his Irish performances. Appears to be having a rough time with Preston in recent times.
I agree. You just never know when a player is going to kick-on and up his game. I saw him live 14 months ago and thought he looked ordinary, but had a superb delivery and was physically strong.
Any word on Aaron Doran these days?
Stutts, your description of Treacy sounds a lot like Lawrence. Looks ordinary but is strong with very good delivery. I think Treacy has more pace than Lawrence though...definitely a guy I didn't hold out much hope for but has really impressed me since his move to Preston. Maybe he just needed a good run in a team to show his worth.
